1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of chronic heart failure (CHF) and does not only pose diagnostic challenges, but also has prognostic implications for these patients. Paradoxically, obese patients with CHF have a better prognosis than thinner individuals. In recent years, it has been demonstrated that the adipose tissue, even in patients with HF, is not always detrimental, and that obesity may coexist with a phenotype of benign adiposity without systemic metabolic abnormalities. Experimental data have shown that natriuretic peptides (NPs), and in particular brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), play a major role in the communication of the heart with the adipose tissue. Body fat distribution and adipose tissue function show a large degree of heterogeneity among depots and may explain the complex relationship between NPs and body fat. NPs can affect both the quality and the behaviour of fatty tissue, promoting a healthy adipocyte phenotype, and can favourably affect body fat metabolism. In this article, we review the existing literature on the bidirectional effects of BNP and adipose tissue in HF and highlight the complexity of this relationship.
